Ní Riain was first in the pool and qualified for her final in 3rd place with a time of 04:48.11.

Speaking after her heat Ní Riain said, “Yeah and early on this morning but I’m happy with that swim and hopefully I can build on that tonight and go faster than that in the final.”

McClements placed fourth in his 100m backstroke heat with a time of 01:06.37.

Speaking after his heat McClements said, “Yeah it went ok, I think there was still a bit of fatigue from last night from that 400m swim but hopefully I can come back tonight and get a personal best”
